Online Measurement Activity

Ruler Activity http://www.funbrain.com/measure/index.html
You will get a choice about level of difficulty and either standard or metric measurement. Spend 5-10 minutes on each area and move up in levels of difficulty until you have 10 correct in each category. Be sure to do activities that are precise to the millimeter and 16th of an inch.

Protractor Activity http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/protractor.html
You will get a short tutorial about how to move the protractor. You also get choices about how precise the measurements will become. (You click on the round blue buttons to do each activity.) Begin at 5 degrees of precision and do at least 10 problems. Then move on to 1 degree of precision. This is much more difficult. Use the bottom toolbar to rotate the protractor. Move it with the click and drag to place the center point of the protractor into the vertex.

Try this one out for more practice.

Angles in a Triangle http://www.edukate.net/number_files/angles2.html
This website measures angles in triangles. It requires a bit more thought since the protractor will not rotate. Try a few of these!

Play Golf, Angles, and Polygons. Remember that complementary means two angles that equal 90 degrees. Supplementary means two angles that equal 180 degrees.
